INTRODUCTION
1.1.
General Introduction
VP-796 features excellent image processing algorithms for the very best scaling, and market leading
HD & SD per-pixel multiple Iow-angle motion-adaptive de-interlacing and automatic film 3:2 and 2:2
pull-down correction, significantly outperforming the capabilities of benchmark competitor products.
The unit can be operated as a seamless switcher with extremely fast switching transitions.
VP-796 uses a very flexible high performance video input front end including true component video
support in analogue YPbPr and RGBS formats as well as composite (CVBS) inputs. A very high
performance video decoder is utilised with 4x oversampling and 3D Y/C separation for outstanding
video image clarity.
HDMI, DVI, HDBT and Display Port video with HDCP encryption is also supported, as are computer
graphics inputs in SVGA analogue and HDMI/DVI digital formats.
The output format can be set to I/O Lock mode where it locks the output frame rate to the input frame
rate dynamically without frame rate conversion so as to reduce system latency, or it can be set to a
fixed output frame rate, e.g. for driving basic screens which are not 50Hz-compatible. The output format
can also be set to lock to an externally provided synchronization signal on various models (see model
matrix).
Outputs are available in HDMI/DVI digital and HDBaseT formats on various models which are useable
simultaneously.
Please note that if an HDCP encrypted signal is connected to the DP, HDMI or DVI input, the HDMI and
DVI output signals will be similarly HDCP encrypted. HDCP capability can be switched off by the units,
so that a source may be forced to output non content protected material unencrypted.
VP-796 supports Pan, Tilt and Zoom to select a ‘region of interest’ portion of the input image, fill the
screen and pan/tilt within it.
System control is via a menu system through the inbuilt TCP/IP web server or via the built in LCD panel
and jog dial. Additionally a free API manual is published on our website of the LAN remote control port.

3.2.8.
Audio Output
Audio is embedded in HDMI video streams and brought into the unit through the respective input
channels. The audio is passed through the system and re-embedded into the HDMI output signals.
Also, the unit features a S/PDIF coaxial digital audio output connector for monitoring audio of the HDMI
channel.
When HDMI is selected as the input channel the HDMI EDID is read by a video source such as a Blue
Ray Player. The unit allows the source to provide the formats shown under output formats for HDMI in
the below table.
All formats are re-embedded into the HDMI output data stream, those which are not allowed on SPDIF
output are muted on the individual channels.
Output Channel
Output Format
HDMI
PCM up to 8ch, up to 24Bit, up to 192kHz sampling rate
(incl. 32kHz,44.1kHz,48kHz,96kHz,192kHz)
Dolby Digital (AC3) up to 5.1 channels, up to 640kBit/sec bit stream rate
MPEG2 up to 8ch, up to 112kBit/sec bit stream rate
DTS up to 6.1 channels, up to 1536kBit/sec bit stream rate
SPDIF
PCM up to 2ch, up to 24Bit, up to 96kHz sampling rate
(incl. 32kHz,44.1kHz,48kHz,96kHz)
Dolby Digital (AC3) up to 5.1 channels
DTS up to 6.1 channels

©KRAMER ELECTRONICS LTD. Issue 1.10 16th of December 2015 13
3.2.9.
Display Output
Three output channels are provided which are useable simultaneously. That is an HDMI, a DVI-I output
connector for DVI/HDMI connectivity and an RJ45 connector for HDBaseT connectivity.
When the input signal has HDCP encryption, the DVI-D, HDMI and HDBaseT output connectors will
carry a similarly HDCP encrypted signal.
When an HDCP encrypted signal is input, but the display device does not support HDCP, the
output image will turn black and a message indicating HDCP Signal will come up to the LCD
menu screen to indicate this.
There is a DVI-D and HDMI output. Both conform to normal VESA standards for connectors and pin
outs for these signal types.
The DVI-D connector will support HDMI with 36-bit video and audio formats when connected to a
suitable HDMI receiver. The colour depth of the HDMI signal is determined by the set-up of the unit and
the capabilities of the monitor.
4096x2160 currently is supported at 23.97/24Hz/29.97/30/50. 4096x2160 at 59.94/60 is not supported.
Note: The processor’s HDCP compliance can be turned off. This is of importance particularly
when using a MAC computer as the source. A MAC will encrypt its output signal if a compliant
device is seen attached to its output regardless of copy protection requirements to the content.
By turning off the unit processor’s compliance the MAC will see a non-compliant device and
therefore will not encrypt its output. When HDCP compliance is turned off encrypted sources
will not be displayed.
Note: The DVI/HDMI1 output of HDBaseT enabled products works fine with most displays at 4k.
However, this cannot be guaranteed. There may be occasional short video drop outs which
immediately recover. The frequentness depends on the display input electrical circuitry, the
input format measurement of the display and the quality of the cable being used.

4.2.
Web Browser Control
The unit can be remotely controlled from a PC (or tablet, or smartphone, …). No extra software needs
to be installed on the PC. The PC web browser is used as the graphical user interface for all control
items. To connect to the unit the TCP/IP address of the unit has to be entered into the address list box
of the web browser in the following format http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The TCP/IP address assigned to the
unit can be found in the System/Network Settings menu.
The Network Settings menu of the unit allows to configure the unit’s TCP/IP address. Under Address
Type a static or DHCP leased address can be chosen. The factory default of the unit is DHCP. The
static address and Netmask needs to be entered manually.
The Network Settings menu has a section with information on the DHCP Status and IP address
assigned to the board, as well as the fixed MAC Address programmed into the board. The DHCP status
is Off when static assignment is used or it displays an address when DHCP has leased an address
accordingly or it is None assigned if the lease was not successful.
Note: When changing from DHCP to Static mode or vice versa it is strongly recommended that the unit
is powered down after such a change, then powered back up, so that it is properly recognised by other
devices on the network.
Kramer provides a DiscoveryTool.exe Windows application to identify Kramer boxes in the network.
http://www.calibreuk.com/downloads/LEDView/DiscoveryTool_V1.0.exe
Clicking on the link of the recognized box will open a browser and make a connection to the
corresponding box. The box identifier is made up of “PV7” in followed by the MAC address. The MAC
address of the box can be found in the System/Network Settings menu.
Note: This is for use on a network not on a single wire connection.
Once the address has been entered into the web browser starts to load pages from the unit mirroring
the menu system. All menu items are shown as their respective buttons, sliders and list boxes and can
be accessed and altered with the PC mouse or corresponding navigational key presses.
To control the unit through a network start a Web Browser and enter the TCP/IP address of the unit in
the address field of the browser. The web server will ask for a user name and password which are:
User Name: user
Password: user
A “Loading… Please Wait.” message will appear in the browser window and the web server of the unit
will mirror the menu into the browser.

©KRAMER ELECTRONICS LTD. Issue 1.10 16th of December 2015 20
The main page will be displayed. The Unit ID above the menu is composed of the board identifier PV7
followed by the MAC address. Also the firmware version number and information on the input mode is
shown.
Under the information pane the available input channels are shown and can be activated directly.
Below the input channel buttons the menu system is shown.
